Westchester executive to hold town hall Wednesday in Eastchester

Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino will continue his series of town hall meetings at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Eastchester.

The “Ask Astorino” town hall will be at Eastchester Town Hall, 40 Mill Road.

The event is billed as an effort to reach out to Westchester residents and get feedback, but it also comes at the beginning of a reelection fight for Astorino. Three Democrats have launched campaigns in the hope of being the one to challenge him in November.

The announcement says: “The county executive will provide an overview of the 2013 budget, which was approved by a bipartisan coalition of the Board of Legislators. He will also give an update on the progress his administration is making in delivering on his three major goals: providing tax relief, preserving essential services and promoting economic development.”

Audience members can ask questions at the meeting or submit them in advance at askastorino@westchestergov.com.
